The given question is incomplete as options are not provided, however the options are as follows:

A. a large surface area-to-volume ratio

B. ability to form stacks known as rouleaux

C. a convex shape allowing for more efficient transport of oxygen

D. ability to bend and flex when entering capillaries

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

RBC cells are biconcave in the shape it is form shape of dub bell in general. These cells are small, round. The biconcave shape of the blood cells helps in the flow of the blood easily and these cells have no nucleus like other cells to have high amount of hemoglobin that is a pigment that carry oxygen and other gases for easy gaseous exchange.

Due to their flexible biconcave shape they can bend and flex accordingly during entering capillaries. The shape of the RBC helps in making stacks and large surface to area ratio.

Thus, the correct answer is - option C.

The right answer is vein (it contains blood and has valves).

The infra-cardiac veins of small and medium caliber possess this system of fight against gravity. The valves consist of a dense connective tissue, surmounted by endothelial cells, corresponding to a fold of the intima. They allow blood circulation in the sense organ / heart but prevent venous reflux.

Diffusion is an important process in animals and plants.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

Diffusion helps animals in respiration. The cells in an animal's body need glucose and oxygen for respiration. Both these are carried in the blood. When blood reaches the cells the molecules of glucose and oxygen diffuse out of the blood and into the cells. As cells use up the glucose and oxygen they produce waste chemicals and carbon dioxide.

Diffusion is a very important process for photosynthesis where carbon dioxide from the stomata diffuses into the leaves and finally into the cells. This helps the plants to photosynthesize and produce more food.

Example for animals: Animals using glucose and oxygen in diffusion.

Examples for plants: Plants using carbon dioxide to photosynthesize.

Worms move using an hydrostatic skeleton. How do worms move?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Worms move through changes in body structure caused by contraction of muscles compressing their watery fluid.

Explanation:

The hydroskeleton consists of a fluid-filled cavity, surrounded by muscles. The fluid pressure and the action of the muscles that border it, serve to change the body's shape and produce a movement such as digging or swimming. The successive contraction of various metamers, which are provided with bundles of circular and longitudinal muscle fibers, stretching and thickening parts of the body, allow it to move horizontally. Hydrostatic skeletons have a role in the locomotion of annelids, nematodes and other invertebrates. The hydroskeleton has similarities with the hydrostatic muscles.
